Foreign Money Day

...
I was going to call this International nothing happened day.

I am still not heading off to China... but I am sure it will happen soon.  So nothing happening there.

Did some astonishingly boring work... so nothing happened today....
Something must have happened on this day of the year once... but not today.

We are 193 days of the year in and we have 173 days to go... both a prime numbers and this only happens this way in a leap year.  Surely that must make the day important!?


To celebrate the nothing, I thought I would show you a strange little thing I do...
In my wallet, along with the Australian Dollars, and the Chinese RMB, there is always $5 US.  It has sat in there for a few years.
I like having it in there, but would not be able to tell you why - (I doubt if I could bribe anyone for $5....) but I think in a pinch in most of the countries I would visit... I could at least get a diet coke or something!


And given that little revelation, and because the day has not been claimed by anything else... I am calling it "Foreign Money" Day.  So celebrate "FM" day for me by trying to spend some non-indigenous money somewhere and tell me how you went!!
